KCDS Fellows present their research - KCDS Talks - February 2025

Thursday, 20 February 2025, 16:00-17:30
Hybrid: TRIANGEL Studio @Kronenplatz and Zoom

The KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science (KCDS) at KIT Center MathSEE is excited to present a special edition of the KCDS Talks in February, where KCDS Fellows will showcase their cutting-edge research. This event offers a glimpse into the innovative work being done by the next generation of computational and data scientists.

 

Join us in person or on Zoom to hear from four talented fellows as they present their fascinating research topics:

 

  • Gabriel Mejia Ruiz (KIT SCC)
    "Trainability of Data-Driven Quantum Models"
    Gabriel will explore the challenges and possibilities of training quantum models using data-driven approaches and discuss their implications for of quantum computing.

 

  • Louise Kluge (KIT SCC)
    "Efficient Bayesian Inference in Cosmological Simulations: A Challenge in Uncertainty Quantification"
    Louise will delve into how Bayesian inference can be applied to large-scale cosmological simulations, particularly focusing on methods to address uncertainty quantification.

 

  • Lisa Leimenstoll (KIT STAT)
    "Causality in Extremes: Exploring the General Case of Different Tails"
    Lisa will present her research on extreme value theory, particularly focusing on estimating causal relationships in extreme events.

 

  • Lilly Osburg (KIT SCC)
    "Exploitation of Humanities Data for Big Data Analysis"
    Lilly will explore how data from the humanities can be exploited for large-scale analysis using big data techniques, shedding light on interdisciplinary research opportunities.

 

Following the talk, there will be a discussion with the speakers, offering attendees the opportunity to ask questions and engage in conversation about the topic. The session will be hosted by Lilly Osburg and Lukas Frank.

 

Snacks and Drinks & Networking Opportunity: After the event, there will be food provided, offering an excellent opportunity to network with the speakers and other attendees. Make the most of this chance to connect and discuss ideas with fellow researchers and professionals.

 

Whether you're a student, researcher, or simply curious about the latest trends in computational science, this event will provide valuable insights into diverse and impactful research areas.

 

Join us in person or via Zoom – the event is free and open to all without prior registration.

About KCDS

Concept of the graduate school KCDS
KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science (KCDS) is a graduate school at KIT Center MathSEE that offers an interdisciplinary training program for doctoral researchers in the field of model-driven and data-driven computational science.
In this unique program, doctoral researchers will be able to conduct an interdisciplinary research project that revolves around computational methods such as mathematical models, simulation methods and data science techniques, all the while building bridges between mathematical sciences and an applied SEE discipline (science, economics and engineering).
Addressing global challenges, the school provides a wide variety of topics, from meteorological ensemble forecasting to machine learning in elementary particle physics.
At KCDS, doctoral researchers have one supervisor from the mathematical sciences and one from the applied discipline. They are part of a dynamic community and participate in the school’s interdisciplinary training program, including hands-on training in small groups, summer schools, networking events and hackathons/datathons.
Thinking simulations and data together, we are ready to conquer the data-driven challenges of tomorrow!
